    Is this when Byron gets his shoulders?
    I know they look too big on the Priestlord, but you know how these sets work. Big and shiny on the boss, but they scale down when you put them on.

      Or it could be that he is just short.

        Short guy named “Gigundus”? Dude’s parents musta -hated- him.

          Well, that’d explain why he joined the church then.

    As an avatar of a god, he is not a human.

    Just throwing that out there.

      The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
      The former is meaningless drivel, and the latter is particularly prone to meaningless drivel… so the two go rather well together.

      Just cleaning up the mess you threw out there.

    Rearrange the letters of “Priestlord Gigundus” and you get…

    …gorier slut puddings…

    …which accurately describes what Frigg made outta those nuns.

    If so, I am COMPLETELY lost.

      The first few comics at the start of each chapter are flash-forwards to a time when the heroes are awesome peacekeepers.

    I think my favorite part is Bandit’s sudden decision to discard her being offended at being called a midget in deference to not angering the large (to Bandit) bloody, half-naked, bloody, near-dead prisoner, semi-berserk killing machine she just ‘rescued’

    all i can say is this

    when the avatar of a god comes to your aid, you KNOW that there’s gonna be pain somewhere. this, i repeate, this cannot end well….

    either that, or someone is getting some SERIOUSLY kickass loot! purple epics FTW!!!

    GraveDust puts giant beast into magical arrow. Shoots magic arrow at next bossfight… kinda like a PokeBall from pokemon, except instead of random woodland creatures, you get Avatars of Gods to duke it out.

    Alternatively –
    Bandit – Kicks it in the shins and steals the shiny peices that fall off
    Syr’ng – “Does Science” to it
    Gravedust – “Does Magic” to it
    Byron – Cuts it’s head off
    Weakened Frig – Finishes it off.

      Hey, remember Gigandus was one of the three that the town mayor/leader/tailor was talking to about using our heroes for nefarious purposes. He could let them go.

      Actually, I don’t think Syr’nj has gotten the fullness of her “science” yet. Think she’s still mostly just potions and medical training.

    I’d say “Uh-oh, Frigg gonna fuck Y’alls up!” But it appears she DID that, in the space of three panels.

    My view, Gigundus is SO damn lucky Frigg is tired at the moment. That girl is SCARY.

    Gigundus, you’d better stop showing off to you fans before Syr’nj feeds Frigg a Potion of Stop being Half Dead. I mean, I want to see the heroes win and all but it’s only suspenseful if Frigg’s injured.

    So, this is the guy who’s on the chapter six title page, but there his helmet had sort of a smile, here it has sort of a frown…is it not actually a helmet, is that…is that his face?

        Actually, to demonstrate my point more clearly…

        Welcome to Science time, with Ahdok!
        —–

        Now children. To understand what I meant by “perspective” here, you need to make your very own Priestlord Gigundus. Now, our lovely priestlord has a funny shaped head, but you can simplify it to a cylinder if you like. It can be difficult to find something appropriate, but I just painted a line on a toilet roll.

        Mighty Priestlord Gigundus stares at you, impassive and expressionless.

        As you can see, Priestlord Gigundus is looking pretty dispassionate, sitting there on my desk… but what if you look at him from above?

        Aww look! he’s smiling!

        All it takes is a quick shift of your perspective, and even a mighty priestlord can cheer up! Now… what happens if we look at him from a lower point of view.

        Gigundus is displeased with you.

        As we can see… the priestlord is pretty angry with us. Time to run away children! See you next week on science time!

          Normally I would not condone such uninhibited ownage of one reader to another, but I have to say:

          Gold Star.

            The intent wasn’t really ownage… this entire thing exists only because I wanted to write GIGUNDUS and draw a face on the loo roll. :D
